Since
the 1960s-1970s, the implementation of Computer-Assisted Language Learning
concept has contributed to the progress made on Foreign Language Learning (FLL)
in numerous ways. It has enabled the teachers and language learners to enrich
the language learning process with improved interactivity with certain learning
materials and gave rise to several opportunities for the development of applications
in further implementation of the concept. At the present time, it is possible
to witness a wide range of software and hardware developed for CALL that are
able to present innovative and creative means for CALL which are, to some
extent, proven successful in engaging foreign language learners with greater
effectiveness. This research has been prepared in efforts of gaining a proper
insight on utilization of the technological means and opportunities in CALL,
and with aims to comprise an idea regarding the effects of the mentioned
technologies which are and were used on CALL.
